Poetic Violence

I was born to fight

Be violent and defend my views

I was also born to be passionate

Care about my words

To be violently poetic is the way I was made

Violence is poetic by nature

And poetry, also violent by nature

It’s a fact you can’t have one without the other

Poetry without violence is green with yellow but no blue

Orange with red but no yellow

A completely all red-purple void of blue

Take one colour away and say goodbye to the others

Passion

The orange between to the day and night

So harsh and soft

Poetic and violent

The blues of the ocean

Soft lapping motions or harsh and sudden waves

Relaxed or stressed

Opposites that cannot exist without the other

Mozart without piano

Life demands the passion of poetry and the strength of violence

The demand to be together

They require each other

And life would be dull and colorless without it

That constant contradiction

No life without death

And no colour without black and white

No rain without sun

No heat without cold

Contradiction is the unavoidable truth of life

A life of poetic violence

A life of living, not just existing

An infinite life free of an end

A poetically violent life

It's how I was born

And it is my purpose
